General Liability Insurance for Contractors and Businesses
Contractors work in environments where unexpected accidents can happen. A customer or visitor may be injured near a work area, property could be accidentally damaged while a job is underway, or a third party could make a claim related to business operations. General liability insurance can help protect a business from the financial impact of certain qualifying claims.
A Plus Insurance Agency is a full-service insurance agency with 18 years in business, serving commercial clients with coverage for a variety of business risks. We provide general liability insurance options for electricians, plumbers, roofers, masonry contractors, concrete contractors, and framers.
What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?
General liability insurance is designed primarily around certain third-party risks associated with operating a business. Coverage varies by policy, and limits, exclusions, deductibles, and conditions may apply.
Bodily injury coverage may help when a customer, visitor, or another third party experiences a qualifying injury connected to your business operations and your company is legally responsible.
Property damage liability may apply when your business causes qualifying damage to property belonging to another person or organization.
Policies may also include other forms of liability protection depending on the coverage selected. Because contractors work in different environments and perform different tasks, it is important to consider coverage in relation to your actual operations.
Vehicle and recreational coverage options include auto insurance, motorcycle insurance, boat insurance, yacht insurance, jet ski insurance, RV and travel trailer insurance, ATV insurance, and golf cart insurance.
Our individual service pages provide more information about each coverage category so you can focus on the insurance relevant to the property or vehicle you want to protect.
Liability Coverage for Different Contractor Trades
Contractors may share some common business risks, but the work performed by each trade creates different exposures. That is why our general liability services include dedicated coverage pages for specific types of contractors.
Electrician General Liability
Electrical contractors may perform installation, repair, maintenance, or other work at customer properties and active job sites. Liability coverage can help address qualifying third-party claims associated with those operations.
Plumber General Liability
Plumbers frequently work with pipes, fixtures, water systems, and equipment inside homes or commercial properties. Accidental property damage or third-party injuries can create liability concerns.
Roofer General Liability
Roofing work often takes place at height and directly on customer property. Tools, materials, active work areas, and roofing operations can create distinct third-party exposures.
Masonry Contractor Liability Insurance
Masonry contractors work with brick, block, stone, mortar, tools, and materials at construction and improvement sites. Their operations can create risks involving nearby people and property.
Concrete Contractor Liability Insurance
Concrete projects may involve site preparation, pouring, finishing, equipment, materials, and active work zones. General liability coverage can help address certain third-party risks connected to these activities.
Framer General Liability Insurance
Framers help create the structural framework of construction projects and may work around building materials, tools, equipment, and other contractors. These job-site conditions can create liability exposures.
What General Liability Does Not Cover
General liability is important, but it is not designed to address every business risk. For example, employee workplace injuries may require Workers' Compensation Insurance. Vehicles used for business purposes may need Commercial Auto Insurance. Claims arising from professional services may require Professional Liability Insurance.
Businesses that own buildings or other physical assets may also need appropriate commercial property coverage.
Understanding these distinctions can help contractors avoid relying on one policy for risks that require separate protection.
